Armin Wolf 3429ae7b2f modpost: Handle malformed WMI GUID strings ...

Some WMI GUIDs found inside binary MOF files contain both
uppercase and lowercase characters. Blindly copying such
GUIDs will prevent the associated WMI driver from loading
automatically because the WMI GUID found inside WMI device ids
always contains uppercase characters.

Avoid this issue by always converting WMI GUID strings to
uppercase. Also verify that the WMI GUID string actually looks
like a valid GUID.
